In this Minecraft tag command tutorial, you'll learn how to use tag command in minecraft 1.16 java! The /tag command in Minecraft is extremely important for datapack creation, and is used for almost anything involving detecting entities/entity/mobs. If you want to detect all players except yourself, or give everyone else an item, or assign all other players to a team, you can use /tag with a datapack function! I'll also show you how to make a mob spawn with a certain item, or how to make mobs/zombies spawn with attributes such as more health, or increased follow range (this can be done with /data merge or /attribute if you were wondering.)
